Lady gaga Meat dress anounced fashion statement of the year

2010-12-20T07:10:00.000-08:00

Lady gaga has always been one to stun and shock us all with her elaborate and effervescent fashion choices... but this year at the VMAs she had us all flabbergasted as she stepped out on the red carpet in an edible gown by Frank Fernandez.

Most of you all screamed out Oh No! but Times Magazine was screaming out Oh Yes!

The Mag has named the infamous frock as the fashion statement of the year, and with that they were quoted saying: 'If making fashion statements is your primary raison d'etre its easy to get bored.Exploding bra? Flamed out. Dress made of bubbles? Please. Using your hair as a bow? Not again. But dress made of meat- with shoes, hat and purse to match- well that's fresh"

Accompanying our fashion diva on the list is M.I.A,Rihanna, Britney spears and more.

We say Well done Gaga finally your hard work of emulating Grace Jones' fashion sense pays off.

This is for all you Disney Die hard fans

Your very own wizards of waverly places star, Selena Gomez has released a spring collection of her clothing line "Dream out loud"..she tweeted earlier last week while doing a shoot for the collection in Malibu: 'Look so cute'.I don't know about you but I'm really not impressed with it, more like bored maybe because the look has been mastered by other brands before..I guess Selena should leave the multi-tasking to Miley Cyrus.

Diggy simmons' chivalrous culture

2010-11-23T04:36:00.001-08:00

Yes besides loving Diggy Simmons and being obsessed with what he is doing to the music industry..I have fallen inlove with his very own sneaker line: Chivalrous culture and not only because the name is genius in its own right but also because from the creative inner solos to the beautiful finishings,the shoes are simply HOT, .

I came across these masterpiece while reading his blog digslifeofthejetsetter.blogspot.com which I must add is very insightful and fashion foward all at the same time. The shoes are currently on sale for $90 (R629.15), they are however made strictly for the youth which is really sad for the men who are now adults.I don't know about you but if I were of the opposite gender I would definitely rock these as a friend of mine said; they are very neat but they do seem to resemble Supras..They also are quite the exclusive pairs of shoes which wreaks because i mean it would really be awesome if they could descend upon africa, dont you think?

Anyway if you want to learn more about the shoes and see how they are made you can visit their website; http://www.chivculture.com/ or follow the brand on twitter @chivculture

Rihanna is such a 10

2010-11-21T09:56:00.001-08:00

It was after watching Rachel Zoe's reality show, where I spotted a luminous yellow ruffle dress that I remember so vividly worn by Rihanna at the BET awards 2 years ago when I realised that I had to compile my 10 favourite outfits sighted on her.

To set things off number 1 has to obviously be the yellow Giambattista Valli gown she sported at the BET awards in 2008:

I don't know about you but whenever I look at this dress I'm sent to a reverie filled with pure blissfulness cause not only did she look radiant, she looked like a breath of fresh air. This outfit will forever be immensely unforgettable.

Number 2:

This Elie Saab gown seems as though it was designed then sewed with specifically Rihanna in mind, it fitted her so well by accentuating all her right body features and the colour was just beautiful. I also fell in love with how a rock edge that is evident in the emphasized shoulders was infused with class and so brilliantly achieved.

Number 3:

She is wearing Chanel head to knee, and sexy Christian loubuotin pointed nose pumps, shall I say more about this? It's elegance at its best and I can't seem to wrap my head around how she got this so right, I'm speechless. Well I can at least say that from the teal woven pencil skirt to the white strapless bustier corset, I could just die of envy.

Number 4:

I love love L°O°V°E the deep pink of the skirt and how it has so much volume but doesn't in anyway make her look fat, I say this is GENIUS. Then there is that metallic top with the emphasized shoulders which screams Rihanna and the gladiator platform heels which exude fashion..Uhmm I'm also guessing that this is Balenciaga. To end this off I'd like to say Merçi Louis Vuitton et Je t'aime!©

Number 5:

Don't you love this as much as I do, probably a little more? I love the bold military jacket by Cristophe Decarnin, the lace bustier which adds a sexy flare to the outfit and the draped harem trousers which makes this outfit look comfortably chic which I must add can be very difficult to achieve.

Number 6:

Obviously this is not your usual outfit and this is what separates Riri from other fashionistas, the fact that she is always taking risks that entail transparent dresses to bold shoulder pads. I love the Statement Givenchy velvet jacket that she has paired up with the tight fitting zip up LBD and the mount Everest high ankle boots. This is edgy but still simple.

Number 7:

Who can make construction glasses look so fabulous? Obviously only Rihanna. Those thigh high leather boots paired up with the grey mini dress by Hussein Chalayan; which I must add looks like she picked it up from some trendy galactic planet; are insane! Very inspiring outfit.

Number 8:

I'm mainly mesmerised with the colour and her impeccable body. The body suit is also looks very futuristic but in a good way and the emphasis on the shoulder? Great 80's comeback through Rihanna. And looking at that attitude and the confidences radiating off her face I can say that this was a great clothing choice.

Number 9:

Have you ever seen anything more innovative?? this is so avant garde... I really adore anything that is oriental and those cut out floral shapes just scream oriental so I was sold from that. And i also love the white coming through the platinum black and the structure of the dress is just dumb-founding. Those shoes also receive my dear appreciation.

Number 10:

This was chosen on biased terms those being my love for Balmain and Michael Jackson. I did however love that she paired the military jacket with the white shorts. It made the outfit look fresh, and clean but still fashionably chic.

that's a wrap…I hope you enjoyed reading it and looking at what Rihanna is best at. And I must also add that Throughout this article I can say with great conviction that Rihanna has made fashion seem so effort-lessly achievable and because of this I've marked her my style icon.

And remember When it comes to fashion you have always got to stay au fait.

sex and the city 2

2010-06-16T07:31:00.000-07:00

Where do i begin?...*Takes a deep breath*... Am i allowed to call this movie a disaster far beyond that of Haiti? I must say i have never ever felt as disappointed as i was after watching half of Sex and the city 2, and believe me the half i watched was excruciating. the non-existent plot lacked the verve that we were all so used to, it was just a total bore.the fashion was a let down too can someone please give Patricia Field (Stylist) a fine, her fashion arrangements were illegal, they have to be! Carrie our favourite fashionista looked like a homeless soul wrapped in linen sheets ,wearing louboutins and most of the time she was whiney which was so unnecessary. Samantha was a horny 80 year old who dressed like a 3 year old and Miranda and Charlotte were kind of not there just like Mr.Big but in all fairness the men were quite yum. To conclude i can say sequals should be avoided and they shouldn't make a third of this movie.

Affordable heels

2010-03-28T06:54:00.001-07:00

Just when you think there is no hope when it comes to affordable yet fashionable heels, you read this blog and realise that some where in this God Forsaken world there is a fashion God who has been looking out for you. And now he has truly come through for you because IF you were to pop into Mr Price you would stumble upon these Gaga heels and more at a low price of R120 to R180. I bet you have read this statement three times just to make sure but believe me it's true.

But for those of you who are not fans of Mr Price, don't fray for there is a solution for you and that is ZOOM..By absolute honesty ZOOM is just my fave! Seriously their shoes are to die for but yet cost effecient* Ahh Happy Days are here.. So if you are ever stuck looking for great affordable heels you know where to go! But don't ever lose the love for Jimmy choo.

These are from ZOOM the prices range from R519 to R550

Casadei

2010-03-24T01:58:00.000-07:00

These undoubtedly extraodinary pieces of art you see before your eyes ; yes you are seeing them I promise you are not dreaming; go by the lovely name of Casadei and they have come down to earth from the heavens of fashion, well thats what I'd like to believe. I almost died when they landed infront of my eyes which immediately diverted my attention from a beautiful man and mind you i put emphasis on the word beautiful. To be absolutely frank I've NEVER been swooned by Europa art, I've always been undeniably bored by their collection but FINALLY they do something right. Thank you europa art for seeing the light guess there is still hope for this McQueen-Less world after all. But To say the least- these shoes are to live for so for you fashionistas planning on suicide anytime soon don't these just make you want to re-consider? I have always said that there is no shoe better than Jimmy choo but I guess I have been proven wrong don't you think? To those who would love a pair do yourself a favour and go down to Europa Art.

Define fashion

2010-03-12T01:08:00.000-08:00

......Fashion....

I believe that fashion cannot be defined but self-defined, for it is an art form, a perception built up on personal experiences and vivid memories..its the ability of bringing artistic ideas to life by transpiring them to form clothing..It cannot be critiqued for it is your own unique idea of art..but it can be judged as admirable or distasteful but in the end you decide what it is! i mean fashion is your story- your tradition- your language- your religion, so don't ever conform to other peoples opinions and ideas of fashion! and don't forget that your fashion represents you and it distinguishes you from others, it's your barcode! so i think YOU should define YOUR fashion...

I love Balmain

2010-03-03T00:54:00.000-08:00

After many lazy hours of being glued to the teeVo wathing Ftv-ofcourse, I can finally say with great conviction that Balmain is simply extraodinary. And not only is it vintage & french which is tres magnifique but its als quite the trend with the female celebs of tinsel town. this is one label that will make shopping easier- i mean all you've got to get is it. its got everyone who absolutely hearts fashion in a daze and us fashion bloggers in a hype..... i jus looooooove love love it!

I love the finishing of each piece, the dark colours used..i mean u can spot Balmain from far and its because of their diamond-quality of work..looking at these pieces dont you think its safe to say that Balmain is one of the best.
